At 4:55 AM, I woke up to start our first day of vacation! After about one and a half hours of packing (Dad did it all), we started the long journey out of Texas at precisely 6:30 AM.

After a break at a McDonald’s (still in Texas), we continued on until we reached a picnic area. There we ate our lunch (in Texas). At 12:26 PM, we arrived at Louisiana! We all cheered! Finally, we were out of Texas! The rest of the journey was spent reading, resting, dancing around at gas stations (to keep our blood circulated), and working on lanyards!

At 4:23 PM, we entered Mississippi. And at 5:57 PM, after eating dinner on the road (hot dogs), we entered our destination state, Alabama! Still, we didn’t arrive at our hotel until 9:30. So, I was a bit surprised. Anyway, I better go to bed, for tomorrow we are going to Tuskegee Institute!
